How We Do It – Our Curriculum

By combining roundtables, case studies, lab visits and site visits, the curriculum is not a lecture series, but a highly interactive discussion and dialogue.

“I made more connections in the first 6 weeks of this program than I have in the past six years.” – John Tuttle, 2012 Fellow

Each class of Fellows is limited to 5 to 12 executives, which encourages peer-to-peer discussion and engagement with our guest speakers. The Institute’s ecosystem includes national venture capital firms, innovation centers across the Rocky Mountain West, entrepreneurs, and strategic partners – to name but a few.
